Here’s some clean energy good news:
The Energy Observer, a French research vessel, showcases cutting-edge clean energy tech: solar panels, ocean wings for wind propulsion, and a hydrogen fuel cell powered by seawater electrolysis. It's a floating experiment in zero-emission maritime travel, recently docking in Manhattan. One of Energy Observer’s main goals has been to “develop and test different low-carbon technologies … to prove that this mix of renewable energy sources and storage is a way to accelerate the energy transition, both on land and at sea.
